Desktop Delivery Service

The Desktop Delivery Service allows you to request scanned copies of journal articles held at the Research Reserve (and the Walton Library for Medical faculty staff members).

  • Electronic download available for members of Newcastle University
  • No need to collect from the library
  • Scanned articles usually available in under 24 hours (Monday-Friday only, excluding Bank Holidays)
  • Help and frequently asked questions: http://dds.ncl.ac.uk/help

Non-members of Newcastle University can collect a printed copy of the requested article from the Robinson or Walton Library (6p per sheet).

Follow the Desktop Delivery Service request links from the Library Catalogue (as illustrated below) or go to dds.ncl.ac.uk.
